Codependency Support Group

Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...

Depression

actually... therapy, doing a hobby. I find the gym helps a lot. Try to do things and be around people that you like. Come up with a list of good things that you like. Then work at doing them. Tanning also helps depression. Working out and eating right is the best way. It helps your body produce good chemicals and makes you feel better.
Hope that helps..

Strenuous aerobic exercise helps me a lot when I am down. Also avoiding raw sugars and caffeine. It is amazing the effects those two items have on your body. I find gardening helps too. It is nice to spend my efforts to take care of something on something that can't talk back or do anything about it!

forcing yourself out of bed...when you can't, you do it anyway.
and i am aware that their are books out there on herbal remedies and other natural substances to combat depression...and i've heard a story or two of peeps who thought they were FOREVER chemically dependent on pharm drugs made the change and are better for it...
Dr's don't like us patients to do our homework, discover and REALLY implement dietary and herbal remedies...they can, and do loose $$$.
and of course, false sunshine, exercise, good diet, hobby, therapy, etc.
this mention is in no way to 'belittle' the wonderful positive things that happen for peeps when pharm drugs are used, simply i think that first and in combo with natural remedies HAS to be healthier than total and perm. reliance on pharm chemicals.

Have you tried some aromatherapy? I have scents that I burn when I need to feel better. They trigger positive memories for me and it really helps. Some scents are just supposed to be uplifting and energizing, i.e. lemon and rosemary, and sometimes just a little sniff of them really helps. Many of them are common herbs that you can find in your cooking cabinet too! I grow my own rosemary because I love the smell so much and when I have no energy or desire to do much I just walk out on my porch and rub my fingers on the plant. It makes them a little sticky feeling, but the smell is there and I can walk around with it for a while. Basil is pretty nice too. But those are just the ones I like the most me thinks!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
